Regius Professor of Meteorology and Climate Science

[gentle music] Hello, and welcome to Geography Matters, the podcast that looks at the role and the importance of geography in the modern world.

In this episode, I'm delighted to welcome Hannah Cloke, Regius Professor of Meteorology and Climate Science at the University of Reading, and an old colleague of mine from King's College in London.

Now, Hannah, your research specialty is hydrology and flooding, and today we are going to discuss, I hope, some of the links between climate change and flooding.

And we've just had one of the hottest summers ever, maybe the hottest summer ever.
